Hello all

I thought I would post on here a step by step photo bed layout as when I first got the van it was a nightmare trying to trace which interior I had, how the bed was made up and what was missing. As it was piled up in the back when I bought the van and the geezer did not know what it was apart from a Devon interior.

Please correct anything I have missed. The white fill in piece of wood is something left over from my kitchen and just by luck it was the correct size as the Devon piece was missing. I hope people find this useful.

Cheers :cheers:

John

Thanks John!
Helped me anyway, I have a Devon Torvette, and the bed layout is very similar, I have a section that is used as a door then becomes part of the bed section, I then slot the table into this, I've got a piece of ply then that fills the gap between the cooker and rear facing seat.
Now I've seen yours I might try it that way and see if I can make it work.
Sorry for boring you :roll:
Well done though it takes ages taking step by step photos. I had a go too, my threads in here some where, I must up date it some day :lol:
Ben

We have an original wooden bit that fills in between the seats (like your white bit). You can actually make the bed cushion area wider by using the two rear shelf cushions and the small headrest. I'll make up our bed and take some pics to show how. Nice early Spaceway BTW :)

Cheers for the comments, glad this thread gives help to people. Be good to see others. I like the idea of using the shelf cushions and creating a kind of chaise lougue. Just need my smoking jacket and cigar :idea: . Never thought of that. Do you have any pics of your original wooden bit that fills in between the seats, i know its not as good as my B&Q master piece, ha ha.

John
